DRIVER DESCRIPTION
The CT3232 Driver section accepts complementary TTL Data at the input, and produces a 30 Volt nominal
peak-to-peak differential signal across a 140Ω load at the output. When coupled to the Data Bus with a 1:1
transformer, isolated on the Data Bus side with two 55.0Ω fault isolation resistors, and loaded by two 70Ω
terminations plus additional receivers, the Data Bus signal produced is 7.2 Volts nominal peak-to-peak.
When both “DATA” and “DATA” inputs are held low or both are held high, the driver output becomes a high
impedance and is “removed” from the line. In addition, an overriding “INHIBIT” input provides for removal of the
Driver output from the line. A logic “1” applied to the “INHIBIT” takes priority over the condition of the data inputs
and disables the Driver. See Driver Logic Waveforms, Figure 3.
DATA and DATA inputs must be complementary waveforms, of 50% duty cycle average, with no gate delays
between them. It is recommended that those inputs be driven from a “D” type flip-flop.
RECEIVER DESCRIPTION
The CT3232 Receiver section accepts Bi-Phase Differential data at the input and produces two TTL signals at the
output. The outputs are “DATA” and “DATA”, and represent positive and negative excursions (respectively) of the
input beyond a predetermined threshold. See Receiver Logic Waveforms, Figure 2.
The positive and negative thresholds may be internally set by grounding the appropriate pins, or externally set with
resistors. The pre-set internal thresholds will detect Data Bus signals exceeding 1Volt p-p and ignore signals less than
0.5Volt p-p when used with 1:1 transformer (See Figure 4 for a suitable transformer and typical connection).
A low level at the STROBE input inhibits the DATA and DATA outputs. If unused, a 2KΩ pull-up to +5V is
recommended.
